So they are upgrading to 70mm according to their ebay ad. What has been made on 70mm that isn't already on blu-ray? (Maybe an amusement park ride or something.)

Actually... the Silicon Imaging camera on that THING is current production HD gear, puts out RAW files and is very expensive. It does not require a 5 to 1 pull down as the camera can sync to any light frequency. The rest of it is a pile-o-junk! That is a pathetic computer for a system that is spitting out and has to deal with so much data!!!

I always knew that they churn out bootleg DVDs over there on a daily basis but Super 8 is certainly a new one! hmmmmm...

I would greatly consider to be bought, but not sure how the toy might reference me different...

Or, if you're tired of always messing with those pesky, expensive, new-fangled xenon lamps, why not upgrade to carbon arc for the low price of $750 (the 45 years of collected pigeon [bs] and rust is thrown in at no additional charge!)

Really? $75,000 for a Simplex XL and a crappy PC? REALLY?!
What do you do when it doesn't sell for $75k even after you put it on ePay 3 times? You up the price to $95k of course. (Incredibly, it still didn't sell.)

Wow, what a deal, I better advertise my pair of Magnarc's that are sitting out in my shed, slightly less bird shit, but in nearly as nasty condition!

Why gentlemen, these fine units are priced as they are simply because they are genuine Brebkert equipment. They were both the first two and the last two ever made. Sure, you can find tons of that old Brenkert stuff lying around but tell me, where else are you ever going to find one Brebkert arc lamphouse, much less two of them?!?!?!

At least one theatre I know has two of them in use daily. Unfortunately, they have no current source for reflectors (new or NOS). If anyone has any of these lying around, let me know. Peerless reflectors will work too, but need to be cut down (same focal length, but larger diameter).

Scott, I just sent you a PM with some information I have about where to get Brenkert parts. It's nothing personal or sensitive, I just did not feel it was appropriate for me to hijack this thread with a long winded post about Brenkert equipment...

The theater (Carmike) that I got my first projectionist gig at has built a new building right next door with stadium seating and digital projectors. Carmike left all of the old film equipment in the booth and it is now for sale on ebay. Most of it is junk and was falling apart back in the mid nineties when I left. No two things in the booth matched either. I still hate to see it go. I spent a lot of time in that booth during my high school/college years and I developed my love of film there. [Frown]

Hi Everyone,

I wonder when the first Master Image, Dolby, or Expand 3D system will turn up. At least Reald customers can give it back after the contract expires.

Cheers,

David

WoW!- OK, so you could buy the space shuttle,
semi-gut the interior, install one of the 15/70
"Imax Style" projectors currently listed on
e-bay, add some motion control technology, and
you'd wind up with a pretty cool space-shuttle
ride simulator!

Here's the "Imax" If you missed it:
